The Biden administration on Friday reversed a 1954 decision to revoke the security clearance of J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the 'father of the atomic bomb,' months ahead of the release of a biopic starring Cillian Murphy as the physicist.The decision comes eight years after the department declassified documents related to a Cold War hearing for Oppenheimer, who was accused of having communist sympathies.The once-celebrated physicist lost his security clearance following the four-week, closed-door hearing. Officials also alleged that Oppenheimer's wife and brother had both been communists and he had contributed to communist front-organizations.
